Analyze the classroom routines and rules set by the Resource Teacher by answering the
following questions.

1. Were the routines effective in ensuring discipline and order in the class? Why? Why not?
 Routines don’t just make your life easier, they save valuable classroom time. When routines and
procedures are carefully taught, modeled, and established in the classroom, children know
what’s expected of them and how to do certain things on their own.

2. Which of those routines were systematic and consistently implemented? Explain your
answer.
 The routines were systematic and consistently implemented are always be on time and keep your
classroom clean. Always be on time is being organized and having a child arrived at school on
time helps reduce classroom interruptions and distractions allowing teacher to focus on teaching
lessons to all students. While keep your classroom clean because your classroom is your second
home and it is important to keep the classroom clean because a clean classroom minimizes the
spread of germs, prevents offending smells from lingering, and runs more smoothly overall than
untidy classrooms/
3. Analyze each given rule. What circumstances led to the formulation the rule?

 Classroom rules every teachers wants to keep his/her students safe and teach them what it is and
is not appropriate behaviors in class. Classroom rules are set to teach student a proper and safe
way to act within the classroom and thus, improving the student learning.

4. Which of the routines will you most likely apply in your class? Why? Why not?

 The routines I most likely apply in my class are the attendance because school attendance
matters. It is a powerful predictor of students’ outcomes.

5. Reflect on the various classroom rules set by the Resource Teacher, Will you have the same
rules? If not, what rules are you going to employ? Explain your answer
 Yes, because as a teacher, you, of course need to establish general rules of conduct for your
classroom. Teach the rules as you would a regular lesson. It should be your first lesson. Discuss
each rule individually, explaining the rationale behind it and ask for examples of how it could be
broken. Explain that rules help make everyone's time in school more enjoyable, and use
examples to illustrate this point. It's also a good idea to post the rules as a reminder and send a
copy home with each student.
